The Oly (as well as Canon and, I assume, Nikon) has a "Continuous
focus" mode, as well as the usual AF ... in continuous focus, you
lock on a subject, and hold the shutter release 1/2 way ... the
camera continues to follow the subject, changing focus as
needed. When you press the button, the camera computes the subject's
speed, and "anticipates" where it will be, after the mirror flips up, etc.
There is no way that I am aware of, to trick a camera that does not
have this feature into doing such a thing. Sorry.
Curiously, I've not used the AF-C mode on the Oly. I'm still
learning how to run the camera in basic AF mode. I must admit, the
focus is extremely fast, and very accurate. I'm most pleased with it!
Have you dried up without getting a cold?
Yes, thanks. I'm both fine and dry!
Cheers!
